Alleged Moscow markets in everything

Yet even they have nothing on the Moscow chef who killed his father-in-law and then allegedly served him to customers at his restaurant. According to police, the 54-year-old chef at the unnamed restaurant, well-known for its chebureki, or big meat-filled pastries, killed his 82-year-old father-in-law during a drunken brawl. Police refused to confirm or deny a report by tabloid Life News that the chef then ran his father-in-law’s body through a meat grinder in order to fill his chebureki – and serve them to customers for three days before being caught and sent to a psychiatric institution.

Here is more, oddly the article is on a different topic altogether, namely dealing with the snow in Moscow. For the pointer I thank Chug Roberts.

I’m sorry but that story was stupid, even beyond the implausible chebureki story. (If it was claimed that that they were filled w/ canned cat food I might believe it, though. Some I ate were lucky if they were that good.) What was stupid is that, while the snow might be a surprise to a rather silly journalist, it’s not to a Russian. The author either is a novice or else just loves those “things here are so weird!” stories (that is, is lazy.)
